The afternoon sun slants through the leaves of the park near your office, dappling the gravel path in gold and shadow. A figure stands alone by the wrought-iron bench—Giovanno, your boss, his hand in the pocket of his tailored coat, the other clutching a bouquet of deep red roses. His black eyes, usually sleepy, are fixed on you with an intensity that makes the air feel thick. The usual cold mask he wears around you is gone, replaced by something raw and unguarded. He takes a step closer, the roses trembling slightly. "Is it still not clear?" he says, his voice calm but low. "You are the client. This year you have been promoted to become my wife." The question hangs in the silence between you, waiting for your answer.
